Press Release 02/14/2009 - to Do List for New York Archbishop: Truth, Disclosure, Compassion National Survivor Advocates Coalition February 23, 2009 http://www.nsacoalition.org/2009/02/14/press-release-02142009-to-do-list-for-new-york-archbishop-truth-disclosure-compassion/ New York, NY - The National Survivor Advocates Coalition (NSACoalition) knows the Archbishop of New York is no ordinary bishop. By virtue of the prestige of New York, the heft of the Catholic population, the uniqueness of the City to the United States and the world, this is a diocese where a real difference can be made for the Church. A new opportunity has presented itself. It must not be squandered. But a new face doesn’t necessarily mean change where it counts. The new Archbishop of New York can have a major influence in curing the severe case of laryngitis in the Church’s moral voice. If he chooses not to, the sickness of sexual abuse in the Church could turn fatal. We urge the new Archbishop to choose life for his diocese and the Church by stepping forward to put the clergy sexual abuse scandal front and center on his agenda as a life issue. |
